Orange Crush
Vitreous enamel on copper with found necklace
Artists Statement
Orange-flavored foods from cocktails to cupcakes have styled themselves after the famous orange soda. Likewise here, the transparent orange vitreous enamel millefiori and bead recall the sweet orange treat.
Artist Bio
In a little hotplate on the kitchen table at age 12, Paula Sinclair learned to fuse glass to copper. Self-taught and matured, she now designs statement necklaces. With transparent and opaque vitreous enamels fired at 1500° F. or more into a gooey orange-hot mass, she surrenders to the unexpectedness of the heat effects. Her transparent enamels make light play through to the copper like stained glass.
Paula Sinclair continues to practice law, living primarily in Twin Falls and often “vacationing” in downtown Boise. Her work can be seen at Full Moon Gallery in Twin Falls.
